Component 

 

The component is the central, reusable unit of the application project. You can create any number of views in a component and arrange them in any number of windows. For more information about the concept of the Web Dynpro component, refer to the Architecture Manual for Web Dynpro.

The creation of a component is the first step when you create a new Web Dynpro application. For a detailed description of how to create a component, refer to step 1 in the tutorial Creating Your First Web Dynpro Application.

Once a Web Dynpro component has been created, the component appears as a node in the object list on the left side of the Workbench window below the node Web Dynpro Components. If you expand the node of the component, several automatically created parts of the component are displayed.

You can double-click the component name to display the component on the right side of the screen.

The component view lists the administrative details such as the name of the person who created it, the creation date, or the assigned development package.

After saving the new component, you can display it in the object list. A first view is visible.

 

Advanced Concepts

Accessibility of a Web Dynpro Application

To ensure accessibility of a Web Dynpro application, you can perform a corresponding check in addition to the check and activation of a component. This check is activated by checking the checkbox Accessibility Checks Active.

Component Usages

Web Dynpro components can be nested. This means that you can integrate any number of other, already existing components into a component. For more information, see Working with Component Usages.

Implementing Interfaces

On the Implemented Interfaces tab, you can enter existing component interface definitions for use in your currently processed component. For more information, see Working with Web Dynpro Component Interfaces.
